Frldav. the 1.1th' Here's hoping the linotype holds up till the paper Koes to press. And there Is a notor ious yeggman with us who blew in to town just a few minutes before clock struck the first hour of Friday, the 13th. The going seems to be good in Torkvllle. The Enquirer says that "string beans have come in, some tomatoes are turning, an occasional frying size chicken is being offered, and taken altogether things are get ting right." He might have added blackberry pie as the crowning piece de resistance. Lincoln county has just complet ed the organization of a branch of the Just Freight Rate Association. Scotland, Robeson, Richmond and others have lately fallen in line. All over the State people are becom ing aroused and are backing up Mr. Jtamsaur in his efforts to get the State thoroughly organized. Another instance of the way in ""which newspaper men are being honored by President Wilson is the appointment of Charles M. Galloway, of Columbia, as Civil Service Com missioner. Galloway had been with The Columbia State for 13 years till 1909 when he became secretary to Senator Smith. The fact thar Galloway is a Tar Heel born proba- bly had great weight with the Pres ident. That the C. & X.-W. is to extend its trains 7 and 8 south to Chester Is good news. That the area con cerned will profit largely by the In novation is hardly to be doubted. Such passenger and freight service has long been needed. It is to be hoped that the towns along the line benefitted will come across with trie goods in sufficient quantity to Justi fy their fight for the continuant of the run. The Wilmington Star has romp out in a handsome Industrial edi tion setting forth the praises of Wil mington, and more especially its ad vantages as a shipping point. r,on, 000 bales of cotton were handled there last year and in Its harhor may be 6een the flaes of all nations. Wilmington's supremacy as the great distributing point for a larsi portion of the Carolinas. and parts Of adjoining States. Is due to its I splendid transportation facilities "With the opening of the Panama ca nal it will be the logical port. The news of the death of Mrs. Joe Person which occurred yesterday in Santa Fe, Xew Mpxico. will bring sorrow to the hearts of many peo ple. Mrs. Person was known throughout the length and breadth of North Carolina. Thirty years ago she began the manufacture and sale of a preparation which Is a household word In the State. She was a remarkable business woman nd although, after amassing a con siderable fortune, she disposed of ler stock in the company, she still acted as a traveling saleswoman Tor the firm. She was a noted charac ter In North Carolina and her death Is a cause of sorrow. 1 1 Friday, the 13th. This is Wood row Wilson's day. We already see some wonderful bit of good luck coming bis way, although to most : people it is symbolic of hoodoos, - Hack cats, broken ladders and the like. The bad luck signs associa ted, with Friday date from away ' back. From all authorities it seems that the evil associations are de- Ifred fretn the fact that Friday was the day on which Christ was cruci fied. Clement, of Alexandria, Ept phanius and others describe the cus tom of marking the day by fasting and prayer. The combination or Friday on the 13th day of the month and in the year 1913 Is enough to bring dire and woeful destruction to those not born un der a lucky star. HOW THKV DID IN ROCKING II AM. A branch of the Just Freight Rate Assoiiation was organized m Rockingham Wednesday. Mr. Hub ert Kamsaiir, the organizing .-. ro tary was present and delivered a forceful address. A number of tin merchants closed up their stores for the nieetine which was attendee' ty about 100 enthusiastic citizens. . number of spirited speech-. were made by those present eniphas!;lni; the need of immediate action. We wonder if the dispadhes ui'.l read that way after the nieetins v.i Cast on hi. As badly as we are af fected here in the matter of freUhr rates there seems to be a lethargy on the part of some of our citizens which is hard to shake off. In ad dition to the list published last Tuesday. The Gazette is giving acain today other instances of gross dls- rimination F. C. Thompson, a Princeton The ological Seminary student has set u a new world's record for an all- round athlete. He scored 7.490 points in ten events. This eclipses the record of the Indian .lames Thorpe bv 2u points. The old idea of the preacher as a weak, nnemi man, "sicklied o'er with the pale cast, of thought" is fast disappear ing.

The following is a very good letter on teeth : "Good morning. Mr. I. C. Busvtnan. Mv name is Tooth, C. A Tooth, oi me .Norm Carolina loom com pany. Mv object in seeking this in terview is not one of complaining, but merely one of explanation regard ing the feeling and condition of cer tain members of our company who have been working faithfully for you for a numbtr of years. "It stems that vou are Mich a busv man that you forget entirely to show proper attention to vour teeth, those hard working servants and compan ions of vour dailv life. Thev serve vou every dav, and sometimes half the night and so far have received nothing hut neglect. "Now, you are a reasonable man. and so I am sure vou will realize the t,nn to these nrrKarv 'i,artt,c rf - ---- - - . . . J . I , ... vour activity. Of course, vou have thought about it frequently, and I trulv believe vour inattention is not intentional : nevertheless, it is harm ful and so 1 warn you unless you get busy soon and show your teeth some decent attention your neglect will prove both costly and painful. Yes. I knew vou would admit the justice of my remarks, and I ceitainlv am pleased to have you say vou will give these hard working members proper dailv attention. They will be able to serve you much better, and, briefly, you will find it to yaur interest in every way You certainly know thev are wonder ful little workers, and can do wonders for you, but when it comes to helping themselves they are helpless. Keep vour word and do the needful, and I am sure vou will find them ever true and grateful. "Good morning, sir." W. P E. FOUND: Bunch of keys in leather cover, several switch keys.

The conferring of the deuree of I I)., on Revs. E. E. Gillespie, of Yorkville and W. I!. Arrow nod. or Sharon, by Clinton Collei'e. su tiirc rs a story of a bit of r -partee between Rev. lr. R. M. Stevenson and Rev S. H. Hay at Clover a few years ago. It was just after Erskine Col lege had "dubbed'' Dr. Stevenson, and Mr. Hay was con crat ulat In e him. concluding his felicitation witn the disparaging observation not In tended to be personal, "hut this de cree has become so common now-a-days that it looks like there is some college always ready to give it to just anybody." "Yes." replied Pr. Stevenson, in a quiet hut equally impersonal tone, "almost all preacn ers who amount to anything are dubbed sooner or later." Although The Enquirer has not attempted a careful canvass of the county to see whether or not the rains that have been falling in and around Yorkville are general, front such information as has been glean ed from callers and others, it. would appear that the central part of trie county is getting rather more than its share of what is coming. Trie grass ha: gotten a good start anl the people are growing anxious a bout their crops. Read the advertisements in The flazetfe. They are as interesting n news and are frequently more prof itable reading than the news. NEWS NOTES.

Fre'iuent comments are heard re garding the unusually large numtier of newspaper men who have come In to public o'lice during the last year or two From Joseph us Daniels, sec retary of the navy, on down through the grei'er and lesser legislative bodies and executive officers we find newspaper owners, publishers edi tors and reporters surprisingly num merous as rcpresntatives of the pu ri pe. In the I'nited States Senate and the house of representatives there are many journalists. In the execu tive departments at Washington are found may men who won note with pen and pencil, such as James A. Edgerton. chief purchasing agent of tho postofhee department. who spends millions of Cncle Sam's dol lars every year. Edgerton has smashed the time honored theory that a poet and writer could not he intrusted successfully with weighty, intricate business affairs. Several governors are knights of he fuill. and one of them recently demonstrated thnf newspaper train ing is an admirable preparation for public service. Gov. James M. Cox. w ho when death dealing floods swept ir.errilessly over Ohio, Indiana, etc., rose to the occasion in masterful manner and led the work of savinr life and property and in restoring order. There seems no doubt that the in- teasing number of newspaper men In politics and the success wltTi w-hhh they work for the people are due to 'he fact that their training brines them In constant contact with the multitude and teaches them r. know the people's wants. Their brains arj naturally adapted to meet and grasp varying; conditions, and thus they are enabled to learn the intricacies of legislative practice more quickly than the average man Legal blank of all kind, man, crfpt rovers, typewriter paperw, cai bow sheets, receipt books, note books, cratch pads, eteM ran be had at Tfat Gazette office at all Jul ECRFvTOP'' -r tmc optics I THt I LJ -a 9 jf t'.u Ai'AsLkJ 1W syAtWM It Lies In A Bank Account In business, In the home or in the social whirl, the bank ac count cuts a ligure not to be discounted.
